recognition. Twenty-Five or 80 are
wounded. The engineer and fireman on
the stock train were badly hurt and are
not expected to live. Seven cars. includ-

Officials OF the company say that the

cious, and the young Brazoria boy who
defended the lives of these prisoners at

gratitude Of ali lovers of fair play and
justice. The fact that at no time have
as many as twenty negroes assembled to-
getner where any body could see them,
excepting in the one instance where the
Spcford gang discovered and parleyed
with the memorable forty-seven, gives
color to the belief that few lswless
white men have "run smuck," and, in
order to shield themselves from
the consequences of their conduct
have raised the cry of "negro up
rising" As was indicated at the opening
of this article, the reports are meager

uation may not be known. Investigation
may show different state OF affairs, and
a thorough and tar-reaching investigation
should be made. When citizens are shot

they are the right ones, it is time for
halt to be called and these shooters deal
with as the law directs.

THE NEW YORK PLATFORM.

New York has opened the presidential
campaign, it may be said, by the late
Saratoga convention. Other states will
have their platforms also, but New Yerk
is looked upon as being second in i'm
portance only to the National Democratic
Convention itself. The platform adopted
is brief, bold and explicit; there Is a
gratifying absence Of clap-trsp pletitudes
and meaningless application so common
in vote-catching appeals to the country.
A demand is made for reduction of
governmental revenues to sum sufficient
to carry on the government economically
and nothing more. The en-
dorsement OF President Cleve-
land is merely an endorsement
of the Democratic party and could not
well be avoided. There are no appeals
to classes, no SOLDERING over the dearly
beloved "laboring man," no comprom-
Uses or concessions, but simply a reiters-
ton Of the Democratic faith as taught
and practiced since the foundation Of the
government. It required courage which
is admirable, in view of the condition of
the politics of the Empire state, to ig-
more wholly the isms and ideas being ad-
vocated by so many conflicting subdivis-
ions of what claims to be the labor party.
The platform recognizes neither class nor
special interest, but considers the general
welfare of ell, assuming thet every citizen
has common right and q common inter-
est and that each is fully competent TO
secure for himself the rights and priv
ileges guaranteed him under the laws OF
the country. Il is straightforward,
manly platfarm which will appeal to al
minds not warped by selhshness or blunted
by greed for place and prominence, and
will be acceptable to those who have not
surrendered independence and in iivid.
uality and become puerile suppiican+s fol-
governmental support. There will be
objections urged against the platform o.
course. The cranks, who have drawn
around them few disciples OF impossible
theories will be displeased, rival politica
parties will be displessed, but the people
OF the country and of New York who
fully appreciate the dignity Of citizenship
will have no faults to find.

The Highest Church In Europe
Bundner Tagbiatt.


The very highest church in Europe is
the pilgrimage chapel OF the St. Maria de
Ziteit, above Salux, in the Canton of
Graubunden. 1t lies 2434 meters above
the sea level-nearly 5000 feet high above
the forests, near the limits of perpetual
snow. 1t is only open during the sum
mer time of that region-or, as the folk
thereabout reckon, from St. John the
Beptist's day to St. Michael's dsy-and
is used only by the Alherders, who re-
main there through the summer with
their COWS and goats, and occa-
sionally by hundreds in search
of the channels and mar
mot. All the inhabitants of Salux climb
up thither on midsummer day to assist at
the first mass and to hear the first SER
mon OF the year, and there is also s
crowded congregation on Michselmas
day, at the LAST service of the year. From
time to time e few stray pilgrims from
the Grauounden Ooerland and the Tyrol
fnd their way there. The second highest
church probably in Europe, that of Mon
stein, also open only in the summer, be-
longs to Graubunden. At our visit the
hale old preacher had five foreign tourists
for his congregation.

NATIONAL MILITARY ENCAMPMENF.
Great Preparations for tho Gathering at
Chicago. l.@E

CHICAGO, Ill Oct. 1.-AI was activi-
ty to-day in the great enclosure where
on Monday is to be formally opened the
first international military encampment
ever held in the United States. The
grounds located inst east Of West Side
Driving Park were literally covered with
canvass structures. 0rderlies were fy-
ing hither and thither, bearing messages
from their officers relative TO the cree
ton of tents, the stabllng of horses and
other technicslIties that sppertain TO the
rnlimbering OF the gun carriages. The
ground is decidedly soppy, but if the sun
plays its part with anything like eff
cheney, the place will be in good order by
Monday despite its present condition.
Quite an influx Of American
companies was witnessed to-
day. More will come Tomorrow
and Monday will mark the advent of
some Of the foreign troops. AS early as
Z o'clock this morning the Twenty third
regiment OF United States regular infan~
try arrived on the ground. Already
there was battery F of the federal Fourth
artillery. The officers commanding the
artillery are Captain Rodney, Lieu
tenant Howe, Lieutensnt Leary, Lieu
tenant Perry and Assistant Surgeon
w, L. Kuedler. They came from Fort
Smelling, Mimi, and we're very active all
the morning pitching tents. The battery
is composed of four officers, fifty men
and four guns. The infantry cama from
Fort Wayne, bringing band with them,
and st once set about initiating
the example OF the res. in setting
uo their tents. Colonel Henry Black
has command of the Twenty-third. The
reviewing space is encircled by the driv-
ing park track, and it is here the Presi-
dent will inspect the troops. Three i'm
mense stands have been erected ord in
addition to those already afforded by the
club houses, will be capsule of seating
very large number of people. Scarcely
foot of ground between the main en-
trance to the driving park on Madison
street and the club house grandstand is
not ornamented with something.

A Desrth of Wives
Toronto Globe.


Mr.. G. 7. Lewis of Indian Head has
devised scheme by which he hopes to
break the wife famine which is prevailing
in the northwest. Bssing his plan on the
opinion OF the Regina Leader that it is
not SO much lack Of msrriagesble
young people from which the northwest
is suffering as surplus OF young persons
OF both sexes who have plighted their
troths to chosen ones in the eastern
provinces or in the old land, he suggests
that the railway companies should issue
tickets to eastern points, on one side OF
which should be stated the amount paid
therefor, while on the reverse side should
be marriage certificate. Ga the return
journey the ticket-holder shows his GER
tifcate, and ii it be properly filled in and
signed and the bride on hand, not neces-
sarily for publication, but as guaranty
OF good faith, the whole amount paid tor
tAe ticket Is tc be refunded.
